3232The Booming Cannabis Industry in the United Stateshttps://dispensarydesign.net/booming-cannabis-industry/
https://dispensarydesign.net/booming-cannabis-industry/#commentsSat, 12 Jan 2019 22:09:08 +0000https://dispensarydesign.net/?p=138The legalization of medical marijuana leads to the fast pace of booming cannabis and CBD dispensaries in the United States. Many patients that have a cannabis or medical marijuana treated disorder are slowly being allowed to have access to their medication, all one must typically do is apply for a license card proving that they are really in need of that kind of treatment or medication.

Medical Marijuana

Due to the number of patients that need medical marijuana treatment, amount of businesses that have been licensed to grow and sell cannabis or cannabis infused products has also skyrocketed. In some of these areas, patients can grow it themselves, so we can really expect that the booming or growing of this industry will not be slowed.

We have seen in some states after about a year of medical marijuana and/or CBD legalization, the industry earned millions of dollars and the government also reaped the benefits of the taxes that this industry produces.

The cannabis industry is growing fast because of the demand, as research continues to show that medical marijuana can cure a lot of medical conditions*, that’s why there are a lot of patients and consumers for it, and they are willing to buy it to experience what some would call a normal life.

The Downfalls

Some burglary in medical marijuana dispensary has been reported alongside this fast growing industry. This will be the downside of the industry in the coming years, and it has already started. The regulation of this industry might not be as effective if some businesses out there are looking to just earn some money by selling the products that they stole or obtained on the “black market.”

The United States is one of the few places that is experiencing the benefits and downfalls of this ever evolving industry and we are pioneering many different methods, procedures and regulations that will eventually help this industry sustain itself federally in the long term. That being stated, it’s exciting that we are only really eight years or so into the inception of state wide legalization of cannabis and have come along so far, so quickly. Buckle up for the next few years and enjoy the ride of this exciting and beneficial movement in America and across the world.

https://dispensarydesign.net/medical-marijuana-oklahoma/#respondSat, 12 Jan 2019 22:07:36 +0000https://dispensarydesign.net/?p=135Medical Marijuana has been legalized in Oklahoma since June of last year (2018) with a 57% vote to approve the bill (State Question 788), benefiting almost 30,000 patients and 900 to 2,000 dispensaries have been licensed. According to our research, we see that there are over 400 dispensaries with active websites and open to the public in the state of Oklahoma (at the time of this article Feb 2019).

We are currently undergoing a governmental review of the aforementioned bill, which could potentially allow each individual county in Oklahoma to opt in to dispensaries being allowed to provide medical marijuana or not. If this happens, the entire scope of the industry could change in the state. In the end, counties who potentially opt out of participation in this bill may see residents moving to other counties to obtain the medication they need, as well as not reaping the taxation benefits of this booming industry.

Patients who require cannabis as medication usually will do everything in their power to obtain it to improve their quality of life, even if it means they possess their ailment “illegally.” We could be faced with residents becoming criminals and stuck with a criminal record for possessing marijuana, while it potentially being perfectly legal in the county next door.

Dispensaries

Medical Marijuana will be/is very useful as long as it is used according to its medical purposes only. Licensed patients are now legally allowed to purchase limited amounts of cannabis at legitimate and authorized dispensaries throughout Oklahoma. These patients, whom can buy, use or grow their own cannabis at home should practice diligence to abide by the law and only use or grow it for their own medical purposes and not to sell it to others for recreational purposes.

The legalization of medical marijuana will not only be beneficial to the state of Oklahoma because of the taxes from it, but most importantly to the patients who really need to use cannabis for them to have a normal life that they can’t experience when they’re having pain, seizures or forgetting some parts of their life or memory. With so many statistics, and so much data available, it is becoming increasingly difficult to deny the the fact that cannabis can help with some conditions that patients are suffering from and that our local dispensaries are helping these folks legally.

What is MMJ or Medical Marijuana?

Medical cannabis or Medical Marijuana according to Wikipedia, “is cannabis and cannabinoids that are recommended by doctors for their patients.”

“Cannabinoids – the active chemicals in medical marijuana — are similar to chemicals the body makes that are involved in appetite, memory, movement, and pain.”

It is used to treat conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease, and many other various conditions.

Some medical practitioners don’t approve of the legalization of medical marijuana, so some patients are being forced to have to find a physician or a practitioner that will prescribe them the right amount or dosage of MMJ for their condition.

In closing, there is a need for the state of Oklahoma to also focus on regulating this new law further so that legal cannabis can only be used by licensed patients and not those who will just use it for them to get high.

https://dispensarydesign.net/dispensary-websites/#respondSat, 12 Jan 2019 13:54:58 +0000http://dispensarydesign.net/?p=1Practically every type of business in this era needs, and has to have a website. It not only helps with advertising but also with the business itself. Having a website is essential to every business, especially if that website has a lot of relevant content, engaging pages, reviews and a good rating.

These type of websites are like no other. When a cannabis or CBD user searches for local dispensaries, they are looking for quick, relevant information to treat their ailment. Although the dispensary experience is new and often fun here in Oklahoma, most patients prefer to shop quickly and discreetly.

Dispensary Design is a professional website designer and branding company for the cannabis industry.

A dispensary website should be the same. Fun, engaging, straight to the point and very professional. A CBD or medical marijuana website should not condone or promote recreationally “getting high,” even if recreational cannabis is legal in your state. The reason is the same with brewery websites, or beer manufacturers websites who do not promote “getting drunk,” or having a sloppy branding image.

Dispensaries are a serious business with a lot of moving parts, and it’s important to work with professionals who understand the online marketing and web design aspect of this industry to quickly and effectively get the word out, and get new professional customers to shop at the location.

Dispensary Website Reviews

Reviews and ratings are like the new form of word of mouth. When a would be customer wants to go visit a dispensary in Oklahoma they would most likely check online to see what shop to visit or consider going to, especially when you’re not the only dispensary on the block. Customers usually opt for the shop that has the best website, images, ratings and reviews.

The secret to having positive reviews is to have good search engine optimization (SEO) practices so that shoppers can find the business in Google searches. Once the customer arrives, it is vital to have a good and reliable salesperson that will really address the customers needs, and can build rapport with them. Building rapport with customers is very important because it shows that you really value customer satisfaction, and once it’s built, you can ask your customers if they would like to leave you an online review for your dispensary.

Once your website has a lot of positive reviews and high ratings, it will boost your ranking in Google search and it will attract more customers which means more sales for your business.
